This Valentine’s Day let’s use a recycled cereal box to make a Valentine box for cards and treats.

This is a fun inexpensive interactive Valentine’s Day project for young children.

You will need an empty cereal box for each child, some wrapping paper (or paint) and stickers or cut out hearts.

Procedure:

Tape the box closed.

We opted to wrap each child’s box as painting took several layers to eliminate show through. It is possible for an adult to spray paint the boxes first.

Our children enjoyed the process of wrapping the boxes in festive Valentine wrapping paper.

Next we laid the wrapped box down and cut a slit in our Valentine Box for cards and goodies from our friends.

We labeled one Valentine box for each child.  Finally, the children decorated with cut outs and glue. Some children added stickers. Our Valentine Box is complete.

Time to deliver the Valentine cards and treats!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
